Charlie and the tim tam slam

it's been a while since i blogged. Been first too busy with Absolute, then too busy with having fun. =)

At any rate now i'm at work blogging this because i've finished all my work (except the post-internship report and a viability survey on some online training material). And so i blog a long backdated post. Let's do this quickly and efficiently now.

First item on the agenda: Charlie and the Chocolate factory.

Esoteric and insanely twisted. The sets were really cool (I loved the house) and the colors were kinda all in muted psychedelic tones. Reasonably faithful reproduction of the story and special effects used to great ...er, effect, and it was quite *gape* omg so cool kinda show. Hilarious, if you suspend disbelief like all other tim burton shows. and suspent morals like all other roald dahl stories. I think those two are just made for each other. Johnny Depp was schizo and does all these vacant haunted expressions really well. Without giving too much of the plot away, you should really watch it just for the squirrels. mm.


Second item on the agenda:
Wireless speed-enhancing spray
'nuff said.

Third item on the agenda, and by far the most important:

Tim Tam Slam.

Tim Tam Slam:


Must try. Method: Take 1 tim tam (surely you've heard of them), bite off small bits of two opposing corners, enough to expose the middle layer. Place one end in warm/semi-hot drink (milo!), the other in your mouth, and suck. When the milo finishes travelling the length of the tim tam and you start tasting it, pop the whole thing in your mouth -quickly- before it loses structural integrity.

WHEREUPON. It begins.

The tim tam in your mouth will start to melt and ooze due to the hot liquid, and because it melts from the inside out, once the outer layer loses its rigidity the whole lot of molten chocolate will explode and flow around your tongue. Damn awesome. It's like swallowing a fondue time bomb. At a time when you're already high from snorting all those bits of choc cookie crumbs.

Grand lux molten choc cake? ha. now you can have one for the fraction of the price, and more precisely what you want, too, the molten chocolate, in your mouth, minus the mess.

drinking choc fondue? Ha, doesn't cut it, it's liquid all the way. It's the transitory period which is where it all counts, that twilight zone between hard bitey chocolate and ooooozing flowy liquid goodness.


These ozzies were freaking geniuses when they invented the tim tam slam.
